Mr Nelson did a tremendous job helping us to understand disability benefits at my husband's job and interpreting another contract he had with the company. He is patient and gave us our options. A fine attorney and we will be using him in the future.

Jesse is the best and I will use every time I need a lawyer. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the law and his drive to help his clients makes him the top lawyer in Knoxville. I would recommend him to everyone!
"Jesse Nelson served as a mediator for me in a sensitive, contentious Family Law matter. His professional knowledge and demeanor were much appreciated by myself and my client. I would not hesitate to have him mediate my cases in the future, and would recommend him to anyone seeking either a mediator or their own Family Law attorney."
"I would absolutely endorse this lawyer. I handled a divorce matter with Jesse, and he did a great fighting for his client's interest and acting in a professional manner that allowed these parties to get the best result possible."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jesse is an excellent employment law attorney. We formerly worked together at the same firm and now collaborate on many matters. He is competent, diligent, and secures excellent results for his clients."
"I have had several cases in which Jesse was opposing counsel. His research and diligence for his clients were impressive. Jesse is a very aggressive, intelligent lawyer and will serve your needs well. I highly recommend him."
